Catherine Flanagan is named in this glass negative, a portrait that the National Photo Company likely made around 1920. The company was a Washington, D.C., studio that photographed city residents, officials, buildings, and events, and its negatives were later given to the Library of Congress. The title comes from data the company wrote on the negatives or their sleeves, and the library has not verified it, so the sitter's identity remains somewhat uncertain. Viewers should also note the streaks and blemishes on the glass, which come from the natural breakdown of the original coating.
